The sad thing is that, rather than forward this to the small "decision team" at work, where we can ponder the merits of the author's points...

... I'm going to just close my browser tab due to the puerile ranting at the beginning (and sprinkled throughout). A few good points, and perhaps a great basis for "proto4" or whatnot, but that my "OMG they're so dumb" ranting?

If that was a peer-reviewed paper, I'd have rejected it after reading the first paragraph, if I even made it that far. That's just not how you make a technical argument or win people over.
